All new design – Thinner, lighter and full of great ideas

Once you pick up iPad 2, it’ll be hard to put down. That’s the idea behind the all-new design. It’s 33 per cent thinner and up to 15 per cent lighter, so it feels even more comfortable in your hands.2 And it makes surfing the web, checking email, watching films and reading books so natural, you might forget there’s incredible technology under your fingers.

Two cameras – And a big hello to FaceTime for iPad

You’ll see two cameras on iPad – one on the front and one on the back. They’re designed for FaceTime video calling. The front camera puts you and your friend face-to-face. If it’s worth filming, let the back camera roll. It’s HD, so every movie you shoot is a mini-masterpiece. And you can take wacky snapshots in Photo Booth. It’s the most fun a face can have.

iPad Smart Cover – Great looks. And even better moves

The Smart Cover and iPad 2 were made for each other. Literally. Built-in magnets draw the Smart Cover to iPad for a perfect fit that not only protects, but also wakes up, stands up, and brightens up your iPad. That’s not just smart. It’s genius.

Dual-core A5 chip – It’s fast. Times two

Two powerful cores in one A5 chip mean iPad can do twice the work at once.3 You’ll notice the difference when you’re surfing the web, watching films, making FaceTime video calls, gaming and going from app to app to app. Multitasking is smoother, apps load faster and everything just works better.
